[0002] The sun sensor is an indispensable attitude measurement sensor of a satellite control subsystem, and can be used for sun orientation of a solar sail and sun capture of the whole satellite. The sun sensor generally has a large field of view. The laser sensor is an important sensor of a satellite environment sensing subsystem, and can realize laser detection in a large field of view. In the face of the problem of background light caused by the sun in space and stray light reflected by the satellite itself, the laser sensor needs to have a narrow-band filtering function for the target laser light source to meet the signal-to-noise ratio requirement.
[0003] Considering the constraint of the whole satellite resources, a multi-energy reuse measurement and sensing sensor is adopted, which can save weight, volume, power consumption and other resources of the whole satellite. The functions of the laser sensing and the sun sensing are fused, which has a strong application prospect.
